That doesn’t look a bad price for a player known for his tremendous pace and finishing ability, and Arsenal fans would surely approve of this ambitious move.

Aubameyang is reminiscent of Gunners legend Thierry Henry at his peak, and would arguably be an upgrade on Sanchez anyway, at least based on the Chile international’s patchy form for the club so far this season.

Dortmund don’t have the best record of keeping hold of their best players, with big names like Robert Lewandowski, Mats Hummels, Mario Gotze, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Ilkay Gundogan among those poached from them by bigger clubs in recent years.
